High Life Bungalow

High Life Bungalow – Come for the View, Stay for the Secondhand High If you're into the soothing scent of weed, a pool that often feels like a public bathhouse, and beach views that look like a postcard (before the smoke rolls in) – then High Life might just be your dream spot. To be fair: the view is absolutely stunning 🌴🌊, the food is some of the best we've had in Thailand 🍛👌, and the staff are incredibly friendly, fast, and service-minded – absolute stars. But... We stayed in a room right by the pool. Which sounds nice – until you're woken up by screaming kids, shouting adults, and clouds of weed smoke drifting casually across the baby floats. Yes, really. The pool often gets overrun by large groups of people who aren’t even hotel guests – just walk-ins looking for a swim, a smoke, a bite to eat… and a chance to make sure everyone hears about it. At one point, it felt less like a hotel and more like a cannabis-themed pool party with a side of chaos. 🚗 Pro tip: Bring a scooter or some kind of transport. The hills in this area are no joke unless you’re training for the Tour de France. 🌍 Bonus drama: We had several run-ins with large, noisy groups (in our case, mostly Israeli tourists) who showed up from the street, took over the pool area, and made it hard for actual hotel guests to find a spot. Not ideal when you're the one paying to stay there. To sum it up: If you're looking for a killer view, amazing food, next-level staff, and you don’t mind a bit (or a lot) of herbal haze, noise, and a very loose interpretation of "guest-only facilities" – then High Life might be just your vibe. You can actually get high, even if you don't want to. If you're into peace and quiet... maybe not.

Located on the relatively quieter side of the island we found the hotel to be pleasant. It has beach access which is great and also has a pool area that sits up on a cliff which makes for stunning sunsets! I would recommend it solely for the pool area if nothing else. The accommodation options range significantly between the cheaper and high-end. The entire hotel appears to be going through different upgrades and our room could’ve done with some maintenance. The staff were super helpful and informative. As an added note I would recommend hiring a scooter to travel around the area.

A true highlight of our trip through Thailand! The staff was incredibly helpful and went out of their way to make sure every wish was taken care of. The location couldn’t be more beautiful – staying in a bungalow with a sea view is an absolute must! The pool is perfect for kids, and the restaurant serves delicious snacks and lunch options – don’t miss the margaritas, they’re amazing! We had such a wonderful time and are already looking forward to coming back. Until then, thank you for the unforgettable memories!

We stayed for 4 nights The location is great, very beautiful view from pool side. Our room was garden view and had a good view. Very clean room with good smell. House keeping cleaned the room daily and changed the towels . The room is a bit old now and could use some improvements . Easy access to beach with stairways although sun-beds were only available pool side. The beach is very clean with white sand and not crowded. Reception is very helpful . Restaurant and bar is located poolside they have reasonable prices and a great view. There are lots of stairs in the hotel so be mindful of it. Motorbike rental is just outside the hotel with good prices and nice person in charge. We paid around 50$ per night and value for money is great in my opinion The only downside was that there were some mosquitoes in the room specially in the night which is not that surprising considering the location and weather Would come back again

It was very good, but to get to the rooms, you have to go through a lot of stairs, as well as to get to the beach. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. But since these are bungalows, you should never leave food in the house, there are a lot of insects because of that. Very good hotel

The restaurant and common spaces are pretty good, with the swimming pool and a stunning view. The rooms are ok, the mattresses are a bit hard, but the bathrooms are not really that good. There are no glasses that divide the bathroom, so after a shower there's water all over. The location is fine if you have a way of transportation in the island. The beach next to the hotel is nice as well.

Had an amazing stay experience at High Life Bunglows. We were a group of 8 people and had booked 2 bungalows. Their room service is pretty prompt , we had an incident wherein there was a stair breakage and they instantly fixed in under 10 mins . Amazing service. They have an amazing restaurant as well ( Would highly recommend their Pizzas & Pancakes ) . The cherry on the top is the easy access to the beach. Its just a staircase away. We had come here specifically for the Full Moon party and they were kind enough to arrange transport to the party at a nominal price ;) . Would highly recommend staying here

Stayed in a garden view bungalow, it was clean and comfortable. The only thing letting it down was, there was construction work going on that we hadn't been warned about. This resulted in us being woken up to banging one morning and, coming back to our bungalow having to step over wet concrete and formwork in the evening. The views are stunning, you can watch the sun set from the pool and the restaurant. The food and drinks are great as well as the service that comes with it. There are also steps located by the restaurant for easy access to the beach. Overall I'd definitely recommend staying here or just coming for a meal or making use of the pool.
